I was wondering, on the basis of this thread , how many DMs stat out everything, and how many skip the little details, such as skill points (a similar thread was done a few days ago, but it was a bit vague IMO). I myself don't even stat out BAB. NPCs are done totally on the fly. I just do a...

I'd honestly like to hear them. Might point me to some areas of the game I haven't tweaked yet :D Too bad S'mon beat me to the punch, but I would have wanted that as a sig too (but then, also too bad I don't live in South London... oh well). Anyway, I find this an interesting point. I think...

I'd say the rules are balanced. I also like the flavour of Psionics. Still, I don't use psionics in the game I run. As a DM, it's just one more thing you need to keep track of, and as I am a "wing it" kind of DM, I found that I couldn't "wing" psionics, or ways to deal with them. Only if a...

I wish I could relive those first few moments of D&D... Sigh... It's always the "firsts" that you remember fondly isn't it? Rav

The sorcerer spell casting meta magic full round action rule. Gone. Poof. How many spells exist with full round action casting times? none. So it exists solely for sorcerers to cast metamagic slower. How much slower? They can only move 5 instead of 30 ft that round (if casting metamagic)...

Why doesn't it seem right to you? It's not like he's using a mithril buckler as well now is he? :) There isn't a balance problem. There is rules "precedent" to allow it (archers & arrows). I can visualize it just fine. (if a wizard still has enough time after a spell to move 30 feet, I can also...

Agreed. I would feel really silly explaining the discrepancies (sp?). But then, I'm so lax that I allow Clerics to cast with weapon and shield provided the shield is light. Rav

Up to level 5 or 6, I usually even adlib my Dungeons. After that, I start paying a bit more attention to the design of everything. Rav

I am getting this error now: 1142:select command denied to user: 'd20reviewer@localhost' for table 'Reviews' - /reviews/index.php Can't access a single review. Rav

Wasnt there a fotw feat in Sword & fist? Rav

IMC there are very few prestige classes and only a few more than just the core feats. Humans are just fine. I think what it boils down to is that when more powerful options appear, the human is more equipped to select them, as all other races have fixed traits. Rav

I am now running a game with UA's Expert and Warrior, the standard wizard and sorcerer, but without evocation, and clerics with spontaneous casting. Added 4 home brew prestige classes, and use new death door rules about every session. UA is the book I've used a lot though. Instead of making up...

Spot the quote: "Do you have anyhting with spots?" "Er... no." "Oh. Well, you see, it's just that I'm... undecided about spots." "I'm sorry we're going to have to miss out on that" ;) Rav

Good! Haven't seen it yet, but I like bringing selected photocopies of Dragon to sessions instead of entire magazines... hence, black-on-white = good. Rav

Ga-Ree. ;) Rav

Here is mine. It might be a bit too strong. http://members.lycos.co.uk/tholestia/ranger.html Rav edit: Note: It is 3.0.

I scowl and growl at those who mispronounce the word for the foul drow. Really, they should be mindful of how to do it by now. Rav

It sure does! Thanks. Rav

Well, the question says it all now doesn't it. I need to know quickly, we're playing this afternoon, and the dungeon article's map doesn't have a scale! If I know that distance I can eyeball the rest. Rav

Hey this is D&D! What about a magical curse? Or a previous wound having pierced a lung while no healing magic was available, that would work. Rav
